Taylor's Toy Wednesday's DIY Custom- Nick "Santa" Slay!

Every winter, Nick Slay, codenamed "Santa" goes out to battle the evil doings of Iceman and his penguin henchmen! Armed with a Heat Armament Ray (H.A.R.), "Santa" truly slays the icy grip of death to protect all the nice children of the world!

When I saw that Creatology was putting out a whole series of Christmas based DIY Vinyl action figure kits, I decided that I should try my hand at some holiday goodness! Here is the first in a small line of action figures in my custom toy line named, Slayed. Overall, I am very happy with how this toy came out. His arms unfortunately do not move. They had to be glued into place because of the cracking that had started occurring in his elbow. His head does turn, but is limited due to his beard. His massive weapon does come out of his hands. It is made from various plastic objects pulled together to make a crazy oversized sci-fi weapon. I did get a second DIY Santa action Figure to do another version of Nick "Santa" Slay. I will work hard to make sure that that version of Nick's arms will move. Now, I've got some important updates, so more pictures will be at the end of this posting. Enjoy the pics. I've got to get back to illustrating comic books! :)

Just to let you know all know, I am taking commissions. If you would like to commission me for original artwork, head over to the commissions tab in store to see how.

If you have not heard about the Podcast called, "Talking Toys with Taylor and Jeff", then it's time I let you know! Jeff and I are on the show where we talk about toys! (Go figure, I mean Go action figure!) Seems simple enough. We pick out a toy line to discuss in each show. We share our childhood memories, our favorite five, and talk about the one toy in the line that got away. Jeff talks about how he cherished his toys and I talk about how they ended up in the garden! The other two shows are The pilot episode, where Jeff and Josh Taylor break down the Pilot Episode in TV series, and The Loosely Based Podcast where Brynna and Jeff compare the book to the movie adaptation! The shows are great! If you are interested in what we got, go to Marvindogmedia.com and give us a listen.

About Me

I'm an illustrator, and avid toy collector. I work on two comics currently: Xenex the Bug Man and Unstoppable Force. I love bacon cheeseburgers, burritos and tacos and could literally eat them everyday. When I'm not drawing, I like riding my bike and playing video games with my best friend, Matt.
